The protagonist didn't finish the joke, so it coincided very well. Willie, Eddie and Ava met and met and separated from each other. "Your shoe laces are loose," "I know". Yes, Willie no longer likes New York, the paradise he once dreamed of, New York, his shoelaces are loose, and he knows the paradise he really yearns for.
The personalities of the three people have been vividly expressed in simple dialogue and lifestyle. At the beginning of the film, Willie tried his best to abandon his Hungarian identity. Imprisoned in the apartment, living by betting on horses. New York is his dream. But he was not doing well, so he was particularly afraid of someone coming to break this peaceful illusion. Before Ava came, he strongly opposed it.
But when Ava arrived, it caused some ripples in Willie’s life. Faced with her relatives, she took off her mask, re-examined her paradise, eat fast food, watch football games, and play in the apartment. The cards in the afternoon. Is it the life you want?
A year later, he made money and won money. He has the capital to change the status quo, looking for a paradise where he can feel a sense of belonging and presence. So he decided to meet his aunt and cousin whom he hadn't seen in ten years. But after arriving at the destination, the same life, playing cards, watching Kung Fu movies with Ava's male friends, and seeing no frozen lake, things are as boring as ever, as pale as the white snow in winter.
So after a few days, he decided to leave instead of going back to New York, to go to Miami, full of passion full of bikini girls.
But they lost money on the way, and Ava accidentally got a sum of money that someone else had traded wrong. Faced with this money, they had a chance to find and choose their own paradise again. Ava went to the airport first. She wanted to go back to her hometown. Willie went to find it. But Willie, who was looking for it, didn't come back. She got on the plane back to Hungary, leaving Eddie alone. In the end, Ava did not return to her hometown, returned to the motel, and chose to stay in the United States. This can be seen from her favorite music and maverick dressing style for her stubbornness and persistence. She chose the United States as her own. Ideal country, she did not waver at this point.
The Willie who tried to get rid of the past has a deep attachment to his hometown. After several years of boring life in New York, he decided to leave. He knew that his shoelaces were loose. . .
